Save the Children has sponsorship programs in over twenty countries in five regions of the world! Our Culture Snapshot series highlights unique elements of local culture from each of the regions our sponsorship programs operate in. We hope you enjoy and will visit again in the coming weeks to learn about each region. Check out the last post, "Culture Snapshot: Carom - A Favorite Game of Children in Bangladesh"

The “Blind Cat” or “El Qota El Aamyaa” in Arabic is a team game where children decide who will be the blind cat and who will search for the others while his/her eyes are blindfolded.
After selecting who will start, the team creates borders for the playing area.
Then the selected blind cat tries to catch one of the children who will then become the blind cat.
The child who plays the blind cat focuses on his/her hearing skill to figure out where each child is.
Coming soon, learn about xingomana, a cultural dance in Mozambique!

Easy and simple life, "sunday school", its not about being a child.
Its just a simple life, no school, no worries, no big job, just living simple life.

It is so nice to see children playing and enjoying every simple things that life have to offer them! Something that we tend to forget and we push our kids to follow our own daily routines filled up with stress and anxiety. Children deserve a better place to life and certenly a lot more time and space to play!
